ATTACKING THE RULING
A Synopsis of Attorney Baird's Ar
gument in the McGiII Appeal.
Reviewing the History of the Land
Clause in the U. S. Statutes.
Why the Price of Desert Land
Should not Be Raised.

The land case wherein Geo. K. McGill
appeals from the ruling of Commissioner
Sparks raising the price of desert land to
81. so an acre, has attracted the attention
of land claimants throughout the West.
1t was instituted as a test case, and he
decision will have a direct effect upon
thousands Of entrymen who wish to secure
title to their claims. j. G. Baird, of this
city, was retained as attorney in the case
by Mr.. McGill. He has prepared and
submitted to the local land office his APP
peal, which has, together with the other
papers in the case, been forwarded to
Commissioner Sparks.
The argument, Mr.. Baird says, pro-
ceeds to review the history of section
1857 Of the United States Revised Stat
utes, to which the circular refers for au-
thority to demand $2.5 0 per acre. 1t is
shown that on April "a, 1920, an act was
approved making a uniform price of $l.25
per acre for all government lands. By
an act approved March 6, 1868, congress
removed the doubt existing as to the
even-numbered sections lying within rail-
road limits being open to settlement, and
Provided, That such sectio ns shall be
rated at two dollars and fifty cents per
acre, and subject only to entry under
those laws" i. e.. homestead, pre-emp-
ton, ETC., the timber, culture and desert
land laws not having yet been enacted.
The desert land act was passed March
3, 1877, and the argument claims that the
act created and defined a special class of
lands and provided special terms and con-
ditions for taking it up. 1t is shown that
the committee on public lands in making
its report in favor of the bill had seriously
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of donating
desert lands to whomsoever would reclaim
them, but that the committee finally CON
cluded to recommend that SI.25 be the
price of the lands taken under the act. 1t
is also shown that by referring to the
Congressional Record it appears that the
senators and representatives in their de-
bates on the bill perfectly understood that
there was to be a uniform price of SI.25
per acre, and that they intended it should
be so.
The argument concludes with references
to authorities on the construction of
statutes, showing that the general land
Office had no authority whatever to de-
mand 81. so per acre. The pertinent sug-
gestion is made that it is more han pass
ing strange hat the desert land act should
have have been in operation for more
than ten years before it was discovered
that it had all along been ~misconstrued
and then the very first suggestion of the
error should proceed from the general
land Office before any other department or
person had even dreamed of it.

WIN they BE LIberatedi

Thos. M. Fisher, attorney for Ketch-
um, the thug and convicted and sentenced
periurer, was highly successful in his
mission to Laramie in behalf of his client.
He secured from Jacob B. Blair, judge
Of the second judicial district and associ-
ate justice of Wyoming, a writ of habeas
corpus, commanding Sheriff Sharpless to
present Frank Ketchum, by you unlaw-
fully detained as is alleged in open
court In Laramie City, Aug. 4, ito be
dealt with according to law" The point
raised in this case is as t. the legality of
the grand jury, the defense alleging that
it unlawfully included a foreigner.
In case the suit is successful the work
OF the recent term of court counts for
for naught, and Ketchum, Germs and
FOLSOM, periurers, will be presented with
gold medals, bouquets and tickets to
COneY Island, while Trumble will receive
a house and lot and enter the ranks as a
candidate tor sergeant-at,arm of the next
territorial council.

NEVER ~EaUALLED.
The Wonderful Rush at the Cowhick *
WhItcOmb Fire Sale.

The wonderful rush continued at Cow
hick Il Whitcomb's yesterday. The store
is opened at s a. m. and closed at 6 p. M,
during which time thirty statesmen are
kept busy. The sales yesterday footed
up a trifle over S 5000, an increase of $500
over the previous day, and every cent of
it was in cold, hard cash. Signs are dis
played about the store notifying the pub
lie that no goods will be exchanged or re-
funded. The placards are superfuous.
On the contrary, several people who had
secured great bargains said they would
not return the goods for double the price
paid. A gentleman yesterday walked in
to watch the crowd a moment, and before
he left purchased a pair of So shoes for
SO. so, and a $40 suit of clothes for $IS.
Fine silk ties, that could be no better,
sell for 10 cents each. The ladies' are
in clover, and visit the store in hundreds,
never leaving empty handed. This sale
is a greater attraction than a circus, and
never before equaled in the commercial
history of Cheyenne. The store will
open again at s o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.

Don't Like Smoke.

A. Simmons is making another of his
peculiar roars. The ditch which he was
so excited about the other day now proves
to have been the property of the men
whom Simmons alleged were robbing and
boycotting him. Now this man, who is
opposed to the development of Silver
Grown, complains that smoke from the
camp floats over the Simmons ranch and
l~eopardizes the health of himself and
family, and has made an application fol-
damages and the removal ofthe engines and
camp or something to that effect. Three
hundred tons of ore we're ready tor the
smelter, which would have been fred up
Yesterday but for the present litigation.
Inc case will be heard before Judge
Fisher next Friday.

GREAT LUCK.
The German Aunt of a Cheyenne Man
Dies and Leaves Him a Fortune.

Everybody is giving things away, and
you can bet your sweet life that | don't
propose to get left" remarked Moritz
Sachs, the rustler who now runs Dyer's
hotel. I'm not going to enlarge my
house at present, but probably will in a
couple of weeks, and | want everybody in
town to know it. I've got a scheme, and
it's a great one, too. People don't like
to keep house this warm weather, and
can't afford to pay from $25 to $50 per
month for day board, and everybody
knows that's too much. Now, | have
made arrangements to furnish the best
food obtainable in the West for the very
low rate Of 500 per month, and want Just
as many boarders as | can get. | buy
vegetables and provisions at wholesale,
and hire cooks who understand the bust
ness. Two of them arrived from the east
to day, and will begin work Monday morn
ing. | have engaged additional dining
room help, and expect to do a rushing
business. The announcement made by
Mr.. Sachs will doubtless largely increase
his business. Under his management
Dyer's hotel has always been a frst-cIass
house, and he cannot afford to make it
otherwise, consequently high priced and
inferior houses are bound to suffer by this
change, which has been contemplated for
some time. The house has always been
well patronized, but with increased facili-
ties a. will receive prompt attention.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, July II.
The wheat market opened actively and with
showing of greater strength. partly due to higher
pr ces on The New York market. August started Hc
higher at ,3E. The Saturday talk Of a decrease In
the visible supply was continued this morning with
or less of builish effect at least enough to
hold August up TO 73ls@7sf where it remained with
good deal of persistency After the first hour or SO
of the session local interest the market rather died
out and the speculative crowd thinned out The
visible supply as announced proved a decrease Of
only l426OOO in wheat. which though less than was
expected was still enough to hold values steady and
firm During the last half hour sellers were pretty
free about offering wheat and prices gradually eased
back to 72A where the market closed.
Corn was only moderately active, but q fair vol
ume of trade was reported. Early in the day there
was a fair demand from the local shorts and the
market ruled quite firm, opening at &c higher than
than the closing figures of Saturday After 1uctuat
ing for some time. This advance
was left and the market closed about If cent lower
than Saturday. August sold at 56H at the opening
and Sb1i at the close.
Oats were quiet today August ranged between
255s and 3d.
Provisions were more active and decidedly strong
er fee ling was developed in the market outside or
ders to purchase short ribs with considerable de-
mand for the same article part of local shoots
under the impression that the market Is over sold
for August and September delivery and that the
contracts had centered in the hands Of prominent
operator was the main support Of the market in
general way aud caused sharp advance In prices.
Other articles sympathized to some extent and with
this movement and prices were slightly advanced
with only moderate trading. August short ribs
started at 40 sold up to SIN and closed at so.

The American business man may not
lay claim to his knowledge of literature
and the fine arts, but what is infinitely Of
more value to him, he knows his trade
and his men. He may be slow at logic,
but he darts at chances. He shapes him.
self to every eXigency, and is continually
switching into new tracks. To the spirit
of enterprise more than to any other
element in business life, has been due that
rapid progress of America that has placed
all the institutions of our country so far
above those of any nation in the world.
And nothing should prove so healthful or
more stimulating to the young man enter
ing into commercial life than this con-
dition of affairs. The spirit of the times
demands of him that he must from the
very start be alert to discover new ways
in business and find new methods by
which undertakings can be carried out O
hundred times quicker than a year ago.
A safe policy for adoption in modern
times is to stick to the old method as the
right policy, so lopg as no better way pre-
sents itself But when that new way is
discovered haste should be made to i'm
prove it. Men are no longer made, as in
times of old, but make themselves by
their own efforts and energies. True en-
terprlse is constantly on the alert to dis
cover some new want of society, some
fertile source of profit or honor, some IN
explored avenue of business, and is ready
to supply the one or take advantage of the
other.-MagaZine Exchange.

Heat as a Purifier.

Fire is thorough purifier. Two hun
dred and twelve degrees of heat, accord
ing to Fahrenheit, is the lowest degree to
which it is safe to expose infected meat,
and as all kinds of meat are always sub
ject - more or less disease, or worms,
invisible, it may be, to a common micro
scope, it is not safe to eat any kind, unless
cooked by applying 212 degs. F. Heat is
a complete remedy for many things.
Heat is great purifier as well as sweet
ener of food and drink. Germs Of disease
are lurking in many things. Water from
sluggish streams, pools or sloughs should
never be used until boiled. 1t is nearly
always full Of disease or injurious ami
rlalcula. By boiling, settlers in new
countries, where pure, living water can
not at first be had, might be exempt from
many protracted or even fatal diseases.
When potatoes, apples and other vegeta-
bles are rotting, the sound parts should
not be eaten raw, as the fungus or disease
with which they are decaying is frequently
poison to the human system. And it is
probable that many of the malarial dis
eases, such as fever and ague, neuralgia,
ETC.. could be avoided by strictly using
cooked food and water purified by heat
The microscope is revealing wonders in
the science of medicine, in anatomy, in
physiology and in nearly all the natural
sciences. The atomic theory is having
an increasing throng of adherents.-Bos-
